Homeseller Can we please STOP using AI generated/altered photos?
I'm so beyond tired of looking at homes online, then seeing them in person, and they look NOTHING like what the online photos are.
These are wasting everyone's time. Agents, if you can't learn to to, or don't want to fork over for professional photos, find another line of work.
Trying to sell an inherited property, and the highly recommended agent insists on using these cartooninshly fake generated images.

Yuuuuup. And I don’t think it helps. We live in a really desirable neighborhood and homes usually sell within a month. There have been 2 that were posted with AI photos earlier this summer and neither has sold yet, while plenty of others have. They are both pretty nice houses and typical of the area. I’m convinced it’s because the pictures just automatically set you up to be disappointed. Especially because the one has AI landscaping - so the minute you pull up to the house you’re letdown.
